What do you think of Death Metal ?

[naboo]

Death Metal I like:
Dying Fetus
Nile
Behemoth
Morbid Angel
Suffocation
Vader
Death!

Not my favorite genre, but I love the bands I listed.

 

[CAIRATH]

Modern death metal sucks.

That seems to be a trend yes. Most modern bands seem to focus way too much on technicality rather than atmosphere. I find pretty much all modern tech death metal bands utterly unlistenable personally. Old school Swedish and Florida death metal is where it's at.

 

[all_sins_undone]

No one has mentioned Nile. Annihilation of the Wicked

its pretty yawnworthy

 

[i aint play this]

Nile is ok, some songs tend to get super boring tho

 

[LightningLixxx]

Why does this thread exist without mention of Atheist?

 

[Justin S.]

Morbid Angel (Blessed and Covenant era)
Gorguts
Demilich
Early Suffocation
Monstrosity
etc.

 

[metal_wrath]

I love me some death metal, even if alot of it is identical,

too many bands to name, although lately I have been on a Deicide binge, and I have just been getting into early Amorphis, good stuff

 

[Pethical]

immolation

 

[Scourge of Malice]

Can't really stand it these days... besides Death. Although I started listening to some Malevolent Creation albums again and am enjoying some of it. For the most part the genre doesn't do anything for me anymore.

 

[Demilich]

tonight i heard this for the first time:

Possessed - Seven Churches


awesome!

 

[metal_wrath]

agreed.

Seven Churches is amazing.

 

[Hypnos]

i don't listen much death matal. most of it bores me to death. these bands i consider my favourites in that genre:

Obituary
Nile
Agressor
Behemoth
Death
Vader
Necrophagist
Atheist
Pestilence
Bolt Thrower
Nocturnus

 

[stefan86]

Love it. I'm mostly into riff driven semi-melodic stuff like Vader, Death, Dismember, Blood Red Throne, Psycroptic, Usipian etc. while I strongly dislike the overly gore-ish stuff and the Gothenburg

 

[NubianGoddess]

Entombed
Morbid Angel
Immolation
Death
Grave
Obituary
Behemoth
Vader
Pestilence
Bolt Thrower

got them - last listen to one of them: last summer. got to be in the mood to listen to death metal. and lately I'm not.
still, I'm very sorry for missing Deicide last february. I was quite ill that weekend. but I've heard that the singer was too and some poor Dutch guy had to take his place on stage. worked out very well too, I've heard.
Also missed malevolent Creation last weekend.

 

[Kir-ir-Bannog]

some of its great, a lot of it is ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz.

I enjoy:

Edge Of Sanity
Death
Morbid Angel
Entombed
Obituary
Carcass (no-one mentioned them yet)
Boltthrower
At The Gates
Cynic


mostly older stuff really, some Nile is OK but a lot is meh meh meh
Necrophagist definately worth a mention. Vader not bad.

 

[metal_wrath]

if you think death metal is boring, why did you include Obituary in your fav list

lol

 

[Tubbs]

I have some amazing album by a band called Godgory, wonderful stuff tbh, lots of acoustic sections and interesting parts, yet it still maintains it's death-metalness.

 

[FRUGiHOYi]

Top DM bands for me:
- Opeth (if you consider them DM)
- Nile (Annihilation of the Wicked)
- Decapitated (not so much the new album)
- Necrophagist
- Cannibal Corpse
- Bloodbath
- Sepultura (the old stuff is DM-ish)
- Suffocation (live)
- Bloodbath

Most of the other stuff I've heard is yawnable.

 

[Tybud]

Carcass (no-one mentioned them yet)

I was about to. Heartwork is so fucking good.

 

[Scourge of God]

Bloodbath wins the list and thread, no more discussion!

If you've never heard ANY death metal, I suppose you might be able to make that argument.
